Celebrate Black History Month with The Salvation Army Children's Services!
February is Black History Month. To celebrate, we are featuring inspiring and thought-provoking quotes from Black Americans from the worlds of activism, literature, academia, art, science, entertainment, athletics, and more. We'll be looking at how these powerful words can inspire and inform our service as professionals and caregivers supporting children impacted by foster care and adoption. We hope that you'll follow us on Facebook and Instagram to fill up your motivation cup to allow you to keep doing all you do for the precious children we serve or to motivate you to find the ways you can help. If you're so inspired, please reach out to us so we can give you some great ways to get started.
Take a moment to read and reflect on some of the uplifting quotes we're sharing, and be sure to follow us on social media to keep being inspired!
